OUR IMPACT
In the past 5 years, Bureau Veritas has supported the certification of over 5 million metric tons of sustainable palm oil, helping to drive the industry's transition towards more responsible and traceable practices.
CHALLENGES
As the global population grows and climate change intensifies, ensuring a secure and sustainable food supply is paramount. Palm oil, one of the world's most widely used vegetable oils, plays a crucial role in addressing this challenge while providing economic opportunities to millions of smallholder farmers.
While traditional palm oil production practices have raised concerns around environmental degradation, endangered wildlife, and human rights; producers embracing sustainable practices and demonstrating commitment through adherence of sustainable policies can mitigate negative impacts and meet growing demands whilst promoting economic development in palm oil-producing regions.
